our community in love and
mercy. To help promote the
prayer campaign, you will also

tached, with prayers through the intercession of three saints who we are turning to in
prayer throughout the campaign- Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady Help of Christians

November month of the Holy Souls – a month traditionally dedicated to a time of
prayer for all who have died and are on their way to heaven, but who have not yet at-
tained the fullness of heavenly life. Roman Catholic teaching includes the idea that there
are some people who need a further period of suffering and reparation from their sins,
and that this time/ state is called purgatory - and that this can be shortened by the pray-
ers and good works of people who have not yet died.
“Come to me all who labour and are
heavy burdened,
and I will give you rest.” (Mt. 11:28)

Novena Prayers for the Souls in Purgatory
Ask the Sorrowful Mother to intercede for the souls of the faithful departed
Philip Kosloski - published on 11/04/20
.
It is a Catholic belief that the souls in purgatory can receive our help through the prayers
we offer on their behalf. These prayers can assist them in their final journey to
Heaven, shortening the time they spend in a state of purification.
Through a mysterious connection, we can also call upon the saints to pray for those
same souls in purgatory.

Here is a prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows, the saint closest to the Heart of Jesus, whose
prayers are powerful and effective.
O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, my Mother,
I turn to you in supplication and by that sword which pierced
your sorrowful heart at beholding your beloved Son, Jesus Christ,
suffer on the cross,
I pray and ask thee to help the Holy Souls in Purgatory
and particularly those for whom I now pray ( Name ).
O Mother of Sorrows, Queen of Martyrs,
for the love of your Divine Son whose Precious Blood was shed for us,
help us who are in danger not only of falling into Purgatory,
but of losing our souls for ever in hell,
with your powerful intercession.
O Mary our Mother,
Mother of Grace,
Mother of Mercy,
pray for us now
and at the hour of our death.
O Eternal Father through the most Precious Blood of Jesus
and through the Sorrows of Mary
have pity upon the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen.
